The kinetic energy of a closed nonequilibrium thermodynamical system, which is in a stationary state in the radiation field from an external source, is studied theoretically. Analytical expressions are obtained for the upper limit of the kinetic energy generation rate Qf, and for the efficiency coefficient eta Qf/Q sub s, where Qs is the amount of energy absorbed by the system from the external source in a certain period of time. Both analytical expressions were derived from an entropy balance equation. On the basis of the analytical results, the energy absorption efficiency and kinetic energy generation rates of earth, Venus, and Mars are calculated.
